They look nice.
They are a high failure item.

If the sender resistance reads even close to where it should, then suspect the instrument panel as the problem part.


No,
At idle the injector pulse is so short that when the pressure is low, TBI systems go very lean. At high rpms & loads the injector has much longer pulses, spending more time open, and they do better with low pressure then at idle. That's the way it is. Do a search on my threads and see if you think I know what I am talking about. I am giving you my honest opinion. I have no reason to steer you wrong. I know nobody that knows the TBI trucks better then I do.

This is not a carbureted engine you are working on. You are thinking about fuel supply like it is carbureted.
UH-OH! I haven't driven the truck since date night. Just opened the hood and could smell gas. Took the air cleaner off, and there's gas all over the TBI. The left side injector is dripping gas. It was NOT leaking after I installed the new IAC! I need to relieve the fuel pressure FAST to stop it flooding the engine again (if it's not already too late)! Do I have to disconnect the fuel line and run the pump, or what???
